At the end of today’s Galaxy Unpacked event, Samsung teased a mysterious device that promises to be its thinnest smartphone yet.
The company mentioned the “Galaxy S25 Edge” in a closing video that gave us a glimpse of the product’s various components, such as the camera, logic board, and frame. The video then shows all those components coming together to form what appears to be an even thinner, flagship-like smartphone. Specs, price, and launch date were not discussed.

Still, after the Galaxy Unpacked event, Samsung showed a trio of physical models of the S25 Edge. Unfortunately, the press was barred from physically touching the product. All we could do was elbow our way into the scrum to grab a few photos.

As a result, it’s hard to see what the fuss is all about. The S25 Edge does appear to be slightly thinner than your average smartphone, but we’re skeptical consumers will spot the difference. The company’s other S25 phones, which were the focus of today’s event, are also fairly thin, at 0.28 to 0.34 inches thick, depending on the model.

The S25 Edge teaser comes as Apple is reportedly working on a super-thin smartphone, dubbed the iPhone Air. The device is rumored to be between 0.2 and 0.23 inches thick, making it the thinnest iPhone ever released. So it’s possible the S25 Edge is Samsung’s response to that. But we’re curious to know if the phone suffers from any compromises to achieve the thinner design.
